Julie Morris , LCSW

Julie Morris is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy. She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, body image struggles, addictions, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, and the effects of physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She prioritizes a nonjudgmental approach and avoids stigmatizing labels, creating space for each person to describe their experience in their own terms. Julie combines practical skills with empathic listening to help clients clarify goals and identify steps forward.

Her clinical work blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, motivational interviewing supports commitment and change, and client-centered therapy centers the relationship and the client’s own expertise in their life. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs of each individual, focusing on practical strategies and collaborative problem solving.

Throughout her career Julie has emphasized empowerment and skill-building so people can better cope with life changes and move toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie Morris works with several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space in which the client is treated as the expert on their own life; it helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and emotional processing. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools to reframe thoughts and develop coping strategies. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation to change, which can be particularly useful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods best match a person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and these formats can increase flexibility for scheduling and access. Remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and use practical tools and homework between meetings to support lasting progress.
